A Test

Today was the final day of my oral tests.
And a surprise was in agenda for me.
The subject I was testing was multiculturalism, and there were some bibliography about pluralism and tolerance in Chile.
So there it come this student, who hasn't step out of the closet yet. Very reject by their peers, and we start the test. The guy is brilliant, have no problems in that arena, so what start like an oral exam soon changes into a very interesting and private talk. In which he start analyzing the gay community in Chile - in third person - and soon enough I realized he was testing me.
If I was worth his confidence.
Well, we spent a lot of time talking about gay in general, and chilean attitude towards them; he also told me that "some of them has been abuse at 4 yr old", at that point it was clear to me that he was talking of his experience. He don't recognized his options to me.
I think he was trying to know what my thoughts in the matter were. We agree to spend some time around a coffee after classes. I felt as he need an extra ear, just some one who listen.
Chile is a very closed society, gay are still a big issue, with no space at all, except af a diversion in tv shows, or some space as prett a porter.
It must be hard for him. Most of my gay friends have live the country to settle them self in Europe - very expensive option - or are very hide in the closet.
Who say in her LJ, something about a gay so inside the closet, that have reach Narnia?, that closet must be full of chileans.

Rambling

Ok, girls, I take this from Rilla

Invent a memory of me and post it in the comments. It can be anything you want, so long as it's something that's never happened. Then, of course, post this to your journal and see what people would like to remember of you, only the universe failed to cooperate in making it happen so they had to make it up instead.
